Hello i have the mobil router in a cabin in the forest.
Router is connected to a 12 volt system

Per day when i am not there, is used 0,2 Kwh per day that would drain a 200 AH(2 Kwh)battery every 10 days.

The router is the only thing connected.

Is there any way to bring the power consumption settings or other way(suggestions)
Is communicating with Nebula taking extra power?

    Hi @mike79

    Please note that the maximum power consumption for FWA 510 is 48W. In this condition, it consumes up to 1.152 kWh per day. It seems like the power consumption when you are not there is about 1/5 of the maximum power consumption.

    To lower the daily power consumption, you may try:

    1. Turn off the WiFi function.

    Communicating with Nebula will not take extra power, since the connection check and data collation are not complex tasks.
